Chapter 178 Section 5 Clan's Counterattack

In addition, although Mao Jiao was the Taifu of the Qin State and the nobleman was the Shangqing, he calmly hung up his seal and left within less than a month after taking office, treating the high-ranking officials as dung, and the world was shocked for a while.As the last descendant of Jixia Academy, Mao Jiao told the world with actions: Although Jixia Academy has been in decline for many years, its character and tradition will not disappear, and its glory and pride still exist! Mao Jiao's departure also had a great impact on Qin's political arena.The important officials of the clan, Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, took advantage of this to make a big fuss and said in front of Yingzheng: Your Majesty respects and favors Mao Jiao, but Mao Jiao is not only ignorant of his gratitude, but instead hangs up his seal and leaves, despising my king's authority and insulting Great Qin's decency.Great Qin Xiong regards the six kingdoms, and the Kyushu dominates. Is it a place where you can come and go whenever you want?King Wang ordered immediately to hunt down Mao Jiao and execute the Fa on the spot, so as to scare the world.Scholars from the Six Kingdoms have always considered culture to belittle me, are arrogant and rude, wantonly criticize the government, and forget their homeland in their hearts.

The clan asked urgently, but Ying Zheng remained unmoved.Ying Zheng said, Mao Jiao's incident is just an exception, and it should not be implicated and spread to others.Mao Jiao is also a celebrity in the world.Mao Jiao's noble title and wealth was earned by him with his life, yet he was able to give it up without hesitation, and his realm was even higher than that of his teacher Lu Zhonglian.If such a high-minded person is killed, the world will surely invite resentment, so it is better to let him go. The clan insists.Faced with these members of the Ying family who are connected by blood, Ying Zheng also feels pressure.Yingzheng didn't know the real intention of the clan, so he had to appease him a little.Ying Zhengdao: As far as I know, the reason why Mao Jiao left with the seal was of course out of arrogance, but also because of the exclusion of the ministers of the court, including the clan.

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen were accused by Yingzheng, and they looked ashamed.Ying Zheng said again: "The one who rejects Mao Jiao the most is none other than Lu Buwei."Do you think that the widows value foreigners and despise the clan?Lu Buwei is also a foreigner, he does not reject the clan but rejects Mao Jiao who is also a foreigner, why?Knowing widows also pay attention to the clan. Yingzheng further said, if you want to expel foreigners, how can you expel them?I don't know how many foreigners came to Qin, maybe they can get all of them?Back then, my state of Qin was located in the west, with a narrow land and few people.Today, the state of Qin has thousands of miles and a population of millions. How many of them are authentic Qin people?Should those whose ancestors were foreigners also be expelled?For example, Meng Wu, whose father Meng Ao was originally from Qi, would Meng Wu be expelled?

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen could not answer.Yingzheng said again, Lu Buwei is the representative and banner figure of foreigners.Once Lu Buwei is removed, the foreigner loses his leader, so naturally there is no danger.You gentlemen use patience, and wait and see, I have my own countermeasures.Lord Changping and Lord Changwen dared not fight any more. Li Si was well-informed, and not long after the imperial family came to remonstrate with Yingzheng, he had already gotten wind of it.Li Si was terrified, the clan was not targeting Mao Jiao, but all the foreigners from the six kingdoms.Lu Buwei was right, the clan had long held a grudge against foreign guests, and wanted to get rid of them quickly.This time, under the pressure from the clan, Ying Zheng took it hard.However, will Yingzheng be able to stand up next time?Should I send my wife and children back to my hometown first, just in case?No, I, Li Si, are the favored and powerful one among foreigners, how could the clan easily let go of all my movements?Once I sent my wife and children back to Chu State, I just gave the clan an excuse, thinking that I had two hearts and no longer single-mindedly for Qin.Yes, I had to take that risk, I had to get my whole family to take it with me.

Let's talk about Queen Mother Zhao Ji.Mao Jiao's leaving without saying goodbye made Zhao Ji quite disappointed.You know, this is the first time in her life that she let go of her femininity and takes the initiative to send her to her door to pursue the man she likes.However, it is best not to get it, and because of Mao Jiao's rejection of Zhao Ji, his image in Zhao Ji's mind is more perfect and more mysterious. A few days after Mao Jiao left, Yingzheng announced a major personnel appointment: Huan Jue would be the general in charge of the army, and at the same time, a group of young and middle-aged generals such as Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe would be heavily tasked.After such a reshuffle, Ying Zheng's control over military power has been strengthened.The change of military power is a signal, and more changes will surely follow.Li Si knew this, and so did Lu Buwei.
